Greg Abbott sent busloads of asylum seekers or undocumented immigrants to the home of Vice President Kamala Harris.

Republican Governors Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbot of Texas have pulled some repugnant, grandstanding stunts in their efforts to assume the mantle of Donald Trump’s base, and further their vainglorious presidential ambitions. What seems to them as a clever “gotcha’” stunt to embarrass President Joe Biden and federal immigration officials, is really a massive kidnapping and human trafficking scheme, which has drawn the Justice Department’s attention for possible criminal sanctions.
Exhausted and abused asylum-seekers and undocumented immigrants are being greeted at the Texas border by police in riot gear, and herded into buses like cattle. That is not an overly-dramatized hyperbole, but a massive cruelty intended to score political points.
Abbott sent busloads of asylum seekers or undocumented immigrants to the home of Vice President Kamala Harris and the Naval Observatory in DC, and three others to New York City. He and DeSantis are pawning desperate people, who may have family waiting for them somewhere in the U.S.; but are being conned into being taken to places they don’t want to be, and set up for deportation. This is a partisan Republican stab to overwhelm cities and regions they are hostile to, and paralyze those cities and the federal government.
